Chapter 603: Sleepless Night


    Trantor: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral


    “No, don’t abandon me…”


    “Save me, save me, benefactor!”


    The voices were reverberating in Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s ears, he opened his eyes suddenly and sat up


    on his bed.


    Huff, huff…


    He was panting, with his body covered in sticky sweat, it was very ufortable.


    Another nightmare!


    Under the dim light, this rank five peak stage expert’s face showed an old and weary expression


    befitting his age.


    In the silent room, Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s breathing sounds became softer, as his frown slowly eased.


    Sitting on his bed, he fell into deep silence, like he was in a daze, there was an extreme fatigue hidden


    in his gaze.


    Ever since he failed the round, he had been in deep guilt and self-me for causing Gao Yang and Zhu


    Zai to be sacrificed due to his own greed.


    Almost every night, he had the same nightmare.


    In the nightmare, blood was pouring everywhere, the smell was overbearing. All sorts of ugly blood


    beasts bared their ws and fangs as he was encircled, facing Gao Yang and Zhu Zai’s pleas.


    They called him benefactor, they asked him to save them.


    But every time, even though Tai Bai Yun Sheng had an aperture full of primeval essence, he would be


    unable to move, watching Gao Yang and Zhu Zai get surrounded by blood beasts and eventually


    consumed, leaving behind their pale white bones.


    Throughout the process, Gao Yang and Zhu Zai would sometimes beg him, sometimes they would


    protect him, or curse furiously, or taunt him.


    Eventually, when they turn into pale white skeletons, lying in the pool of blood, they would still say with


    their remaining skulls—


    “I believe in Lord Tai Bai, he is so kind and righteous, he will definitely never abandon us!”


    “Mm, I believe in him too! Even if I die, I will believe…”


    Tai Bai Yun Sheng was in pain, he felt sadness, helplessness, and regret!


    Especially at the end, he would kneel on the ground helplessly in his dream, letting the blood dye his


    white hair red as he cried profusely.


    He felt that he was no longer Tai Bai Yun Sheng.


    This experience made him reevaluate himself.


    But every time he examined, it resulted in a severe negative answer.


    Sometimes when he looked in the mirror, he felt that he was looking at a stranger!


    Tai Bai Yun Sheng was not the only person who had a sleepless night.


    It waste at night.


    Imperial Court blessednd’s night was dazzling with silver light, shining on thend.


    Hei Lou Lan looked out of the window, above the sacred pce, Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was


    still forming new floors, the dazzling aurora was shining brightly in the sky, creating a beautiful scenery.


    “Damn it! The owner token went missing, what in the world happened?” Thinking back to the time when


    he challenged the round, Hei Lou Lan gritted his teeth, he clenched his fists as his eyes shone with


    ruthlessness, ready to devour people with one nce.


    Throughout history, there had never been any Lord of the Imperial Court who lost their owner token, but


    this had to happen to Hei Lou Lan.


    “Forget it! So what if I don’t have the owner token, so what if I cannot use the Grey Meltdown killer


    move? Whatever the difficulties, they cannot stop me from getting the strength path Immortal Gu!


    Mother, if you can watch this from the afterlife, see how I take revenge for you!”


    Fang Yuan was slowly walking in the sacred pce’s garden.


    His expression was not nice, he had a grim look on his face.


    In the flower garden, there was a jade fountain and a stone bridge, with flowers blooming and


    flourishing like it was spring, this beautiful environment was not something he could currently enjoy.


    Right aftering out of the white jade hall, Fang Yuan was feeling vexed about the matter of


    subduing Imperial Courtnd spirit.


    In his mind, Mo Yao’s will chuckled: “Hehehe, to think that Imperial Court blessednd’s condition for


    ownership was like that. Lad, with your gloomy personality, it will not be easy for you to find a woman


    that you love, while she also has to be deeply in love with you.”


    Not long ago, Fang Yuan faced Imperial Courtnd spirit Frost Jade Peacock, and was told the


    condition to be the owner of Imperial Court — true love!


    To make the Frost Jade Peacock willingly submit to a master, and obey everymand, one person


    was not enough, it had to be a Gu Master couple who were deeply in love.


    It was very easy for Giant Sun Immortal Venerable to fulfill this condition.


    But for Fang Yuan, it was filled with difficulty.


    Not mentioning the other parts, just requiring Fang Yuan to be truly in love with a certain woman was a


    near impossible matter.


    “If this was in my previous life, I would be able to fulfill it. But now…” Fang Yuan took a few steps and


    stopped at the stone bridge, he rested on the railing and looked at the jadeke below the bridge,


    laughing coldly.


    Theke was like a mirror, under the radiance of the silvery night sky, it was a dazzling sight.


    What he did in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building that night was really a scary experience, but that was


    over now.


    At this moment, he was basking in the beautiful scenery around the sacred pce,pared to the


    dangerous predicament he was in earlier, this truly felt like a dream or illusion.


    “Life is like a dream, like morning dew and nocturnal flower, like the shadow of a bubble…” Fang Yuan


    muttered, going into a daze.


    The light breeze caused ripples on the surface of theke.


    Among the ripples, a blurry image of a woman’s figure seemed to appear in Fang Yuan’s absent-


    minded gaze.


    That was the woman he had buried deep in his memories.


    In Fang Yuan’s previous life, he had faced disaster and was a destitute wanderer, during the lowest


    time of his life, he had met her, the world’s encounters were just so amazing, and the toying of fate was


    simply cruel and merciless.


    “If we are talking about true love… why am I thinking of her?” Fang Yuan’s fingers which were holding


    the railing exerted force unknowingly.


    He frowned suddenly, and his gaze turned ice cold, the woman’s figure silently vanished, and the


    surface of theke appeared before him once again.


    Fang Yuan fell into deep thought.


    The current situation was not looking good!


    Frost Jade Peacock was formed from the obsession of the blessednd’s original owner, although it


    was arrogant, it would acknowledge true love.


    But it was near impossible for Fang Yuan to meet its requirements.


    If he could not subdue thend spirit, then Fang Yuan’s n for taking over Eighty-Eight True Yang


    Building would failpletely, he would have to stop here.


    “No wonder the central continent Gu Immortals in my previous life chose to destroy Imperial Court


    blessednd, and destroy Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. Gu Immortals have lots of deep secrets and


    often have extreme personalities, it is harder for them to experience true love than mortals.”


    “After using Gruel Mud, even though the melting is slow, thend spirit’s seal is getting weaker. After


    being sealed for hundreds of thousands of years, thend spirit is filled with hatred and desires


    freedom badly, it will definitely try to break the seal. Although Giant Sun’s will is still slumbering, when


    the seal melts to a certain degree, or if thend spirit continues to resist, it will definitely awaken!”


    This was Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s will!


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    When an Immortal Venerable rages, blood would flow like a river, all beings would mourn. But thend


    spirit has the territorial advantage, as long as the blessednd remains intact, it would have a continual


    source of strength.


    When the two contest, it would be scarier than deities fighting. At that point, those who were mortals


    like Fang Yuan would suffer.


    Especially when Fang Yuan was the culprit who released thend spirit, if he was targeted by Giant


    Sun’s will, he would face a terrible end, there was no way out!


    Fang Yuan’s original n was like this.


    First, he would enter northern ins and make his way into Imperial Court blessednd.


    He achieved this wlessly, using his previous life’s memories, he killed the Wolf King Chang Shan Yin


    who was at hisst breath, taking over his identity and bing a higher-up of Hei tribe army. Next, he


    hid within the alliance army and got into Imperial Court blessednd.


    The second step was to get into Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and gain the most benefits for himself.


    Using the video from the central continent Gu Immortals in his previous life, he would subdue thend


    spirit and without alerting the Immortal Venerable’s will, he would be the new owner of Imperial


    Court blessednd.


    The third step, after bing the owner of the Imperial Court, he would not be in a rush to take down


    Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, instead he would hide in the background and develop in secret.


    Within Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, there was an Immortal Venerable’s will, it was not easy to deal


    with. Imperial Court blessednd was a sacred ce in the hearts of northern ins’ Gu Masters, it


    could not be defiled or tainted.


    If he was discovered, Fang Yuan would face the assault of the entirety of northern ins!


    Such frightening power, even if Fang Yuan escaped to other ces, it would be pointless. There would


    not be a single super force that would protect him from the pressure of the whole of northern ins’


    forces.


    Unless it was during the chaotic five regions battle, when no one had the spare energy to bother with


    him, and when all five regions suffer setbacks, Fang Yuan would survive even if he was exposed.


    After bing thend spirit’s owner, Fang Yuan would order thend spirit to stay inside the white


    jade hall, while cooperating with Eighty-Eight True Yang Building’s operations.


    This way, everything would progress smoothly.


    First, he could use Imperial Court blessednd’s strength to deal with the Gu Immortal Tai Bai Yun


    Sheng. This way, he would have a greater chance of sess, and regardless of how their battle end


    up, Fang Yuan would not lose. Even if he failed to take the Immortal Gu Landscape as Before, Fang


    Yuan would not be in any mortal danger due to thend spirit’s protection.


    Secondly, Fang Yuan could use Fixed Immortal Travel to move between Hu Immortal blessednd and


    Imperial Court blessednd freely. Hu Immortal blessednd was being covetously eyed by Immortal


    Crane Sect, and every once in a while, there would be an earthly cmity, it would be the centre of


    many struggles and not the ideal ce to cultivate peacefully.


    By bing the owner of Imperial Court blessednd, he could use Hu Immortal blessednd as his


    cover and Imperial Court blessednd as his true base. While cultivating, he could scheme against


    Immortal Crane Sect to gain the most benefits. If it failed, he could discard Hu Immortal blessednd


    and retreat into Imperial Court blessednd.


    Imperial Court blessednd was protected by an Immortal Venerable’s setup, it was hard for wisdom


    path Gu Immortals to make deductions involving it. Moreover, Fang Yuan would continue to fix and


    repair the loopholes in the future, thus it would be much safer than Hu Immortal blessednd!


    Thirdly, Fang Yuan would own this precious resource, every time True Yang Building opens up, he


    could collect all these vast amounts of resources including Immortal Gu without putting himself in


    danger. When the timees, he would do what he did in his previous life, subduing a blood path Gu


    worm and bing a blood path Gu Immortal. It would be slow and steady, safe and sound.


    But though the n was perfect, reality was not.


    Fang Yuan put in his best effort, but he was stuck at the second step.


    Unable to be thend spirit’s owner, he could not borrow its strength, as a mortal, there was


    nothing much he could do.


    The situation was progressively getting worse, Giant Sun’s will was definitely going to awaken. If Fang


    Yuan wanted to escape, he could use hole earth Gu and connect to Hu Immortal blessednd to flee.


    But he could not bring these few Immortal Gu with him!


    Moreover, even if he obtainedndscape as before Immortal Gu, how would he quickly and safely


    return to Hu Immortal blessednd?


    Without thend spirit’s help, as a mortal, Fang Yuan could not do that.


    “At present, the n can only be to first think of every possible method to convince thend spirit. If I


    am on its side, we can deal with Giant Sun’s will together, and I might be able to borrow some of its


    strength. Sigh… I really do not want to use that final method.”
